Posted Wed 22nd of September 2010
So having both your parents die in a terrible crash when you were a baby, and being sent to live with your aunt and uncle and their four older boys; is not the childhood I would have liked to have but did. Being that my uncle played football in high school and college, his four sons played too. I was the one who needed to play defense against them and being that I was not built like them; I never stood a chance. Growing up in their home was like that every day. Being picked on and pushed around was something I was used to from them. Since the youngest of my cousins three years older then me; I was always the one too young to do what they were doing growing up. Even thou I was only thirteen when the youngest of my cousins started to date and bring home girls. I never would look at those girls and think how good looking they were or how I wish I was older to date myself. Now I'm not saying that I was gay; no I looked at older women and wanted to get with them. So let's get to my story of how my life changed forever a couple of months ago.
My name is Jon and I'm seventeen years old. I will be turning eighteen next month and I can't wait. Even thou all my cousins have moved out for college; I still am known at school as the shy kid that my "world's greatest football players" cousins had to take in against their will. I was always made fun of by them and picked on at home and in school. I would make it known that I would never be like them and never make the football team because I was not great at the game like them. I was and skinny kid that would get killed on the field by the other players. I would try out for other sports, but they would show up at try outs and call me a pussy because track wasn't a "real" sport to them. I stopped trying and would just go to school and keep to myself. It was hard to because growing up in their shadows people looked at me like I was a looser.
So I was driving home one day from work and you would think a kid with the shitty life I was living. I would get a break at some point. No I was hit by a drunk driver and knocked out at the scene. I woke to the sound of machines beeping as I laid in a bed not being able to move all that much. I heard someone talking but couldn't make out what was being said. Next a bright light was shined in my eyes and I was told to follow the light with my eyes.
"Well welcome back" said the person who had the light still in my eyes. "How are you feeling?" she asked as she moved back and dropped the light.
For the first time I could look and see where I was. I was in a hospitable room and the person talking to me was a very good looking nurse. She had to be in her mid thirties and had a beautiful face. She was about five-two and a hundred pounds with a nice set of "c" tits and a great ass. If you would asked me what type of woman I would go for if I had the balls to talk to one she would be it, what a smile she had. "I'm fine, I guess" Still not able to feel a lot of my body, I started to sit up but I couldn't get more then my arms to move.
"Well I have bad news for you" the nurse started. "You lose all feeling from the mid chest down and you will be in a wheel chair for the rest of your life"
"What the fuck" was all I could get out "this fucking sucks, if my life couldn't get any shittier I found a way"
"Relax I'm just messing with you" the nurse said. "You'll fine its all the drugs you are on for the pain from the crash, you'll start to get mobility in no time" she explained.
She told me that her name was Mary and that was would be my primary nurse as I was in the hospital. I asked if my aunt and uncle was here and she told me that they were here right after the crash, but had to leave for a game up north for my cousin. Mary told me how pissed she was to hear that and I told her that that was my life and I was used to it by now. I started to get feeling back and the first thing I was feeling was that I had to go pee like crazy. I asked Mary if I could use the bathroom and she said that she would help me walk over to the toilet since I wasn't fully back yet. I started to sit up and move my legs, they felt numb but I could move them. Mary helped me to the toilet and asked if I wanted help and told me that it was normal as she could see me turning red in the face. I stood in front of the toilet and Mary help me by moving my robe to the side.
Now I've never been with a girl before. Being the shy kid I was; girls were not knocking my door down to get to me. So being this close to a woman and a fine one at that, I didn't know I was going to die or if I did die already and this was heaven.
So Mary told me to hold on to the rails on the side of the toilet and she would to the rest. She started to pull the robe back when she let out a gasp with a "oh my god."
"What?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?" "No, it's just I never seen one that big before" Mary told me. "Uh?" "Don't you know how big your dick is?" Mary asked.
I told her that I never been will a girl before and that I never seen another dick so I didn't know that I had a big one. It started to get bigger and hard with Mary give it so much attention now. I told her that I really needed to pee and she grabbed hold of my dick and helped me get my piss in the toilet.
After she cleaned my dick with a moist towel and helped me to my bed again. As I sat in the bed I still had the boner that I got from this beautiful woman see and touching my dick for the first time. Mary could see my face turning even redder as the boner was not going away anytime soon. Mary asked how a kid with a dick as big as mine never got with a girl before. I told her how my parents die when I was a baby and going to live with my cousins who picked on me growing up and had the girls think I was a loser didn't help things much. I told her that since my cousins were football players and bigger then me that I had a normal size dick. Mary told me that my dick was not normal and most guys would kill to have a cock as big as mine and think girls wouldn't real women would go crazy for a cock that big.
Talking to Mary was so crazy for me since I never really been able to talk to girls before. And I thought that my dick would go down but it was still hard and still standing up making a tent with the robe in my lap. Mary saw this and asked how I fix this type of problem in the past. I told her that I never really like girls my own age, but I would look at older women and think of them as being truly sexy. I told Mary how some time I would steal a pair of my neighbor's panties out of her hamper when I would be force to go over there and help her with things around the house. I loved the smell of her used panties and would smell them as I would jack off. Mary just looked at my like I was a pervert and I started to turn red again.
"It's okay Jon" she said. "I like guys who are a little naughty at times"
Mary smiled at me and said "I know just what you need" and with that she walked into the bathroom and close the door. About a minute late she came back out of the bathroom holding something blue in her hand. Mary said that she needed to go and check on the other people she had on her list, but she would be back a little late to check on me and talk more if I wanted to. She then handed me the blue panties that she was holding and told me that this was to help me with our friend and whispered in my ear that she could be a little naughty too. Mary then turned and handed out the door closing it behind her. I looked down and my hand to the blue panties that I was now holding, then looked out my hard dick. Did I really have a dick that was bigger then most? I did measure it one time when I was sixteen and it was eight inches long and three inches thick, but no knowing about other guy's dicks I never thought I was big.
So I was holding Mary's panties and could start to smell that wonderful smell that I enjoyed from sniffing used panties. So I started to bring them up to my nose, but I could feel that the panties were wet in the crotch area and I though that maybe Mary pee a little in them. As I brought them to my nose I could smell the smell I loved but not of pee. Not knowing that when women get horny they can let out some wetness from their pussies. I wrapped my hand around my cock and started to stroke it as a sniffed at her panties and the smell was driving me over the edge. I was about to cum when someone walked into the room. It was too late to stop but when they enter I tried to hind my dick from them. If they would of came in five seconds before or after the point I was at; I could of stopped what came next, but of course my life doesn't happen like that. I was so horny when I started to jack off and I was so far pass the point of no return. That when I tried to pull my dick back to put it under the sheet I stopped thinking about holding back the cum and my dick went off. I came so powerful, that I shot it up my chest, onto my face and some into my mouth. Now there was a lot of cum because I don't get a lot of time at home to myself; that I go about a week in between jerking off. So for a seventeen year old boy I usually have a lot of cum in me when I burst.
So here I sit with a beet red face, my now soften cock in my hands, and my own cum all over me, my face and the taste of warm salty cum in my mouth. I just want to die for I don't know how many times with my doctor standing in front of me. He just stood there for a moment before he turned went in the bathroom and returned with a wet rag to give to me. I had my dick covered by now and didn't know if he saw it or not. He handed me the rag and I wiped the cum from my face.
"Hi, I'm Dr. Michael Green but you can just call me Dr. Green or Doc." he told me. Still as red as I could be I finished cleaning myself and he grab the rag and throw it back into the bathroom. He then closed the curtain around us so no one coming in could see me or the doctor. He told me to relax and sit back, and that he wouldn't tell anyone about what happen when he walked in. The blood started to leave my face and I started to relax a little. The doctor started to examine me to see if I was healing ok; he told me that the ER doctors told him that I was pretty banged up when I came in and that I was out for three days. He pulled the sheets from me and looked over the band aids on my legs. He told me that I had some on the side of my hip and that he wanted to remove my rode get a good look at them. Being that he was a doctor and this one had cum on it; I took it off and sat naked in the bed in front of another man for the first time in my life.
"Wow that's a big dick you have there" he said. "You don't have a single hair on you down there" he started to say as he looked at my dick and not paying any attention to the band aid on my hip. "Do you shaven your cock and balls so it looks even more like a monster then it already dose?" he asked. "No, I never had hair down there, but nobody ever say that I was different for not having some." No, some people don't get hair or it's really thin, but the size of your dick is not common to see" he told me.
All this attention to my dick started to make me get hard again and I moved my hands to cover my dick before he saw it. The doctor cut me off and wrapped his hand around my cock and stroked it a little bringing it to its full eight inch hardness. Today was the first for many things in my life and they just kept coming. The doctor just kept looking at my dick as he jerked his hand up and down on the shaft. I could feel his hand move with the skin on the shaft over the meat of my cock as he pumped it up and down.
"Have you ever had a man jerk your cock before?" he asked. "No" was all I could get out. He continued to jerk my dick and started to pull on my balls. "Have you ever had someone go down on you before?" he asked. Again all I could say was no and with that he lower is head and put my cock in his mouth. It was so warm the feeling was like nothing I have ever had before. He worked the head of my dick with his tongue and bobbed up and down on my cock. He continued to pump my cock with his hand as he tried to put as much of my cock in his mouth as he could. The doctor pushed down on my cock with his mouth till he had six or seven inches of my cock in and hold it there for a moment. He then would pull his mouth from my dick and jerk as hard as he could on the shaft; the feeling was incredible. Never have a felt this way; never had I had this happen to my dick. My cock was now covered in his spit from deep throating my dick and then jerking it as hard and as fast his hand could go. All I could do was moan and take the beating he was giving to my cock. I started to feel the cum in balls again and told him that I was about to cum. The doctor told me to open my mouth all the way and he jerked my cock as hard as he could and I shot the cum up into my mouth again. I didn't know I could cum as much as I didn't for the second time, but I came and came even more then before and a lot this time was going into my mouth. He jerked my cock to a soften state and I had to push his hand away because my cock was too sore for his hand to keep stroking it.
He told me to lick the cum around my lips into my mouth and eat it all. I did as I was told, too much in a high to do different. I used my finger and got the last of the cum from my face in my mouth. The doctor fixed his shirt and coat and cover me with the sheet and told me that that was fun and he would stop back to see me later.
I laid there trying to wrapped my mind around what was happening to me, but just couldn't. Mary soon came in and asked how I was doing. I smiled and said ok; she walked up to me and whispered in my ear that she told me that she could be naughty too. She pulled her head back and smiled. I asked how and she asked me how the blowjob was. She then told me that my doctor loved dick and he loved to suck big dick, but it was hard to come by. She fixed my sheet and as she was heading out the door said that since she was a naughty girl that she would be back in a bit and I had one wish for her as a little form of pay back.

Yes, 47% will vote for Obama because he is black and they call me a racist at the drop of a hat because I don't agree. These inerts are allowed to make collecting our tax money a career. Those in the DC puzzle palace are to blame. They use our social programs to buy votes. I wonder what these ignorant, uneducated, worthless, lazy people will do when there is no money to fill their unworthy pockets. These people expect/demand the working people to take care of them. They go high and to the right about the past slavery this country indulged in. Yet their inert abilities are enslaving them and they can not see this. They can not see past the free money and their racist mindset. This is not what I defended for 20+ years. WE THE PEOPLE need to right this. Exlax the snot out of DC and there will be plenty of clothing for Goodwill. That will be all there is left of the political, warped vermin there. Bitter? You betcha

Digital-image analysis of the femoral shaft/neck angle in human foetuses. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 14655130 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Measurements were made of the femoral shaft/neck angle (CCD angle) in 106 human foetuses, aged from 16 to 38 hbd, using a "FEM-GEO_03" computer program. The values of the CCD angle in the group under examination were: mean = 140.48 degrees, SD = 6.95 degrees, max = 157.90 degrees, min = 113.93 degrees. No significant differences were found in CCD angle size between male and female foetuses or between left and right bones. Dispersion analysis showed a decrease in the CCD angle during foetal development, which suggests that adaptation to a vertical position and bipedal gait starts during pregnancy and is manifest as an inborn feature. |

Speaking in Tongues -A supernatural gift of the Holy Spirit
The Gift of Tongues -Speaking in ones native language while being understood by those of various languages.
Concerning the gift of speaking in Tongues, in the Acts of the Apostles we read:
"When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. And they were amazed and wondered, saying, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? Parthians and Medes and E'lamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians, we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God." And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?" (Acts 2: 1-14)
And so the gift of Tongues we will refer to in this article is not the Charismatic gift of Tongues that is practised by some today, but the Apostolic gift of Tongues as related in the Scriptures, whereby a person speaks in their own native language, but is heard and understood by those of various languages.
St Anthony and the Gift of Tongues
The book "The Little Flowers of St Francis" was written by Brother Ugolino about 100 years after the life of St Francis of Assisi and St Anthony of Padua, the details of which are based on original documents of the Franciscan Order. In Chapter 39 of this book we read:
"St Anthony of Padua, one of the chosen disciples and companions of St Francis, whom the latter called his Vicar, was preaching one day before the Pope and the Cardinals in Consistory, there were therefore present at that moment men of different countries- Greeks and Latins, French and Germans, Slavs and English and men of many other different languages and dialects.
"And being inflamed by the Holy Spirit and inspired with apostolic eloquence, he preached and explained the word of God so effectively, devoutly, subtly, clearly and understandably that all who were assembled at that Consistory, although they spoke different languages, clearly and distinctly heard and understood everyone of his words as if he had spoken in each of their languages. Therefore they were all astounded and filled with devotion, for it seemed to them that the former miracle of the Apostles at the time of Pentecost had been renewed, when by the power of the Holy Spirit they spoke in different languages.
"And in amazement, just like in the Acts of the Apostles they said to one another: "Is he not a Spaniard?' How then are we all hearing him in the language of the country where we were born-we Greeks and Latins, French and Germans, Slavs and English, Lombards and foreigners?"
It was not only at this consistory that St. Anthony's gift of tongues was utilized. It is written that while preaching in Italy he spoke in perfect Italian, and while in France he preached in French, although he had never studied these languages. Also remarkable is the fact that "the simple-minded and the most ignorant listeners were capable of fully comprehending all he said; and his voice, though gentle and sweet, was distinctly heard at a very extraordinary distance from the speaker."
The gift of Tongues in the preaching of St Paul of the Cross
The grace of being heard at great distances was also documented on at least three occasions in the life of St. Paul of the Cross (1694-1775), the holy founder of the Passionist Order. Because of his extraordinary reputation for holiness, people would come from great distances to hear the man of God preach his missions, and to witness the remarkable miracles and cures that often accompanied his preaching. Therfore the crowds that gathered during his missions were often immense. On at least three documented occasions, his voice could be heard by all those present, even amdst the usual noises of such a great crowd, extending even those who were literally several miles away. This extraordinary grace took place in the three locations of La Tolfa, at Civitacastellana, and on the Isle of Elba, where he was heard a full five miles away.
Also, as stated above with the Apostles and also St Anthony, it was also documented on several occasions that his Italian language was understood by members of different foreign nationalities and languages who had come to listen to him.
[For those interested, the webmaster has a website devoted to the extraordinary life of St Paul of the Cross here.]
The gift of speaking in Tongues in the life of St Dominic
And then there is also another holy Founder, St. Dominic (1170-1221), the founder of the Dominican Order and the great promoter of the Holy Rosary, who was given the gift of tongues when he was one day on a journey to Paris with his companion, Bertrand of Garrega, and a number of other friends and disciples.
While on the road they visited the sanctuary of Rocamadour, where they spent the night praying before a miraculous image of Our Lady. The next day, as they journeyed along, they sang litanies and recited psalms and the divine office, which attracted the attention of two German pilgrims, who began to follow them. When they came to the next village the two German pilgrims, being greatly attracted by the devotion of the little band, made motions to them indicating that they should sit down and dine with them. It was somewhat of an awkward situation since the Germans could not understand the Dominicans, nor could the Dominicans understand the Germans. This continued for four days, with the Germans sharing their food with the Dominicans.
On the fifth day St. Dominic addressed Bertrand in this manner:
"Brother Bertrand, it grieves me to reap the temporal things of these pilgrims without sowing for them spiritual things: let us kneel down and ask God to grant us the understanding of their language, that we may speak to them of Christ." Accordingly, they knelt down and prayed. When they rose up, they were able to converse with the Germans in their own language and did so without difficulty for the rest of the journey.
As they drew near Paris, the Germans, now filled with spiritual consolations, departed from them. The earthly food which the Germans had provided had been exchanged by Dominic for spiritual food which nourished their spirits and was beneficial to their eternal salvation. St. Dominic, for his part, charged Bertrand to keep silent about the matter and to keep it secret until his death, "lest the people should take us for Saints who are but sinners.'"

Covintree holds a bachelor's degree in English and is currently pursuing a master of fine arts in writing at Emerson College. In this essay, Covintree examines various ways to interpret specific lines in the text in relation to the search for nirvana.
Written during a time of political turnover and upheaval in her home country of Vietnam, Ho Xuan Huong's poem, "Spring-Watching Pavilion," found in the collection Spring Essence, captures a calm moment of serenity. In this poem, Ho discusses the discovery of enlightenment in the midst of an environment where such discovery could seem impossible. John Balaban has translated the poem from its original into English. In his poetic translation, Balaban has attempted to maintain the flavor of the original poem while making it easier to comprehend for the English reader. Fortunately, as Balaban explains in the Introduction to Spring Essence: The Poetry of Ho Xuan Huong...

I bought this for another room in the house but liked it better for my grandson's bedroom. Wanted him to have great images to ponder while he is in bed or in his room playing when he's here visiting. Every so often I peek in there and look at it because it is such a happy picture - you feel better just looking at it. Nice quality paper. Very happy with purchase. Framed it myself.
Purchase Reason
This is a large print for a great price. The colors are vibrant and I'm excited to get it framed. I'm going to use an Ikea frame to keep it affordable, since it's so large.
Purchase Reason
beautiful from any angle, I have it in a white frame, lovely!
Purchase Reason
This is a lovely, cheerful addition to our family room. We are avid gardeners and this print compliments our interests, as well as our decor. We have had many positive comments from friends and family.

Firms fret over I-40 rock slide's effects on business
Companies face delays, higher costs
The recommended detour route: Motorists traveling eastbound on I-40 are being routed up Interstate 81 to Johnson City and back to I-40 via Interstate 26. Motorists traveling on I-40 West are advised to use I-240 West, to I-26 West out of Asheville, to Johnson City, Tenn., then take I-81 South back to I-40
The road ahead is looking longer and more expensive for many Knoxville businesses as they contemplate trying to move goods with Interstate 40 closed for about three months while workers try to clear a rock slide near the Tennessee-North Carolina border.
"It's going to add a cost of about $65 for every load we haul," said Tony Colombo, president and chief operating officer of Teton Transportation Inc. in Forks of the River Industrial Park.
The delay will vary depending on the destination of the truck, but Colombo is figuring an average of about 100 miles added to each trip. Teton provides freight service to 48 states, specializing in same-day and next-day service within a 500-mile radius of East Tennessee.
Teton and other trucking companies are having to rework their routes after a rock slide buried all four lanes of I-40 near mile marker 3 in Haywood County, N.C., about 2 a.m. Sunday. The North Carolina Department of Transportation estimates it may take up to three months to completely clear the debris.
In the meantime, I-40 is closed in both directions at mile marker 2.6 in North Carolina near the Tennessee state line and detour routes have been established. To reach Asheville, N.C., Knoxville drivers must take Interstate 81 north to Kingsport-Johnson City, then Interstate 26 south to Asheville. North Carolina officials estimate 22,000 to 25,000 vehicles, about half of them trucks, pass along I-40 daily where the rock slide occurred.
Another alternate route for vehicle traffic - but not tractor-trailers - is U.S. Highway 25/70 through Newport into North Carolina.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol has received complaints that tractor-trailers are using the Highway 25/70 route and crossing the James T. Huff Bridge east of Newport. The bridge has a weight limit of 10 tons. The state Highway Patrol said it is working to strictly enforce the weight limit and route tractor-trailer traffic on I-81 through the Tri-Cities to I-26.
John Pemberton, vice president of North Knoxville-based Pemberton Truck Lines Inc., said he has yet to estimate the additional costs, but the I-40 closure will be felt. The company suffered as a similar rock slide closed I-40 for two months in 1997, but this time there is a further complication, he said.
"A lot of our customers are 'just in time' customers," he said. "The load is ready and shipped at a certain time just when they need it."
That was not nearly the case in 1997. Timing is more critical now, and the company is trying to reschedule deliveries and work with customers, Pemberton said.
Though trucking companies are obviously affected, other Knoxville businesses anticipate some impacts from the rock slide as well.
David Gensterblum, president and CEO of Knoxville-based Aqua-Chem, said the I-40 closure is likely to cause problems for the company in getting items in from suppliers on the East Coast.
"We have notified some of our key suppliers that we will need them to try to ship a day earlier," he said.
The company, located in Forks of the River Industrial Park, makes water purification systems and ships most of its products to the West and South, so Gensterblum does not believe the rock slide will affect deliveries. The most immediate impact of the rock slide for him so far was trying to get back to Knoxville Sunday from a weekend trip to Asheville, he said.
"Instead of a leisurely two-and-a-half-hour-drive it was four hours of bumper-to-bumper traffic," Gensterblum said.

Modex 2014: 145,000 square feet of show floor reserved at spacedraw
The MODEX 2014 exhibit spacedraw, held January 23 in Chicago, attracted 340 exhibitors who reserved a first-day record of 145,000 net square feet of show floor space at the Industry's premier U.S. event. This record amount of space reserved is a clear message that the material handling, logistics and supply chain industry is healthy and growing. NACCO Materials Handling Group selected the first booth of the draw on behalf of their Hyster and Yale brands.
"The success of the MODEX exhibit spacedraw is a clear indicator that material handling, logistics and supply chain solution providers have a positive economic outlook and bodes very well for both the MODEX expo and our industry as a whole," according to George W. Prest, Chief Executive Officer of MHI.
MODEX 2014, sponsored by MHI, will be the most comprehensive international manufacturing and supply chain expo held in the U.S. in 2014. MODEX will showcase the solutions of 800 exhibitors who will fill the MODEX's 250,000 square foot show floor. MODEX will be held March 17-20, 2014 at Atlanta's Georgia World Congress Center.
MODEX 2014 exhibits will represent solutions that span the supply chain, from traditional, manual equipment to computerized, automated systems and information technologies. Manufacturers, consultants, third party logistics providers, publishers and systems integrators will be there to demonstrate their equipment, systems, software and services to manufacturing and supply chain professionals from around the world. These professionals will come to MODEX seeking solutions that make their supply chains work more productively and profitably.
MODEX attracts over 20,000 visitors from over 100 countries, and will once again feature an International Visitors Center. The Center provides matchmaker services for interested buyers and sellers. In addition to the exhibition, MODEX will also offer a comprehensive Supply Chain Conference featuring Keynotes, show floor seminars and several collocated partner events. Industry experts will lead a broad range of show floor educational sessions covering all aspects of manufacturing, distribution and supply chain operations.
Supply Chain & Transportation USA to Co-locate with MODEX 2014
MHI and Reed Exhibitions (RX) recently announced that MODEX and Supply Chain & Transportation USA will co-locate in 2014. Supply Chain & Transportation USA showcases a complete range of innovative products and service dedicated to transportation, logistics, real estate and the future supply chain. The co-location includes 50,000 square feet of exhibits as well as educational sessions.

I'm gonna hold onto the game for now, even though it is bugging the hell out of me just cos I can't play it.
Another frustrating thing is, only an Xbox controller will work on it (USB adapted of course), which renders my PS2 pad and USB gaming pad useless. Plus, the game won't play unless you are logged into Windows Live and Rockstar Social Club, both required for online, but I don't want to do this every time I just want a bit of single player.

click here hope this link works as i accessed it from my account, i played for a few hours last night, i got slow down at various times, the settings on the game are shocking at the mo, if i turn my settings down they go back up again? there's nothing really i can improve on this system. so i guess it just needs a little work, they say the settings go so high for future systems and yet it doesnt support sli yet?
hope they sort it quickly as i gave up waiting for conan to deliver what it promised, dx 10 multicore direct etc etc. as systems get more complex more problems are created i suppose, a wider range of beta testers may not be a bad idea before they put a game on the market.
good luck.

I cant seem to get decent STABLE frame rates!!!
normally runs at 18~30 fps on my system, no matter what I turn down or up, and i believe that I have a pretty decent system, 9800GT 512, X2 6000+ @ 3.1GHZ 2GB 1066 DDR2, the game sets render quality and detail to medium and high respectively, and res @ 1280x1024 the average frame rate I get is around 20fps tho if i can increase the res to 1600x1200, or decrease it to 1024x768 and lower everything to low...I still get roundabout the same average +-1fps...so it would seem like its bad optimization on rockstars part.
For the xbox controller there is a fix, look here, click here
it works.

Albanese wants priority given to Maldon rail project
Federal Infrastructure and Transport Minister Anthony Albanese says the Maldon to Dombarton rail line is a vital project for the Illawarra and should be assigned a higher priority by the NSW Government.
Mr Albanese says he's disappointed the recent NSW Infrastructure report lists the major project as low priority for the next 10 to 20 years.
He says the federal government has committed $30-million and he's seeking further talks with the state government over their position.
"This government is certainly determined to progress this project that's why we haven't just talked the talk, we have actually provided this funding," he says.
"We think this is a vital project for regional NSW and for the Illawarra in particular".
Mr Albanese has called for tenders for the next round of pre-construction work
to be managed by the NSW Government.
Tenders close next Friday with details available at www.tenders.nsw.gov.au

Shopping Cart
Mr Ferrell is an architect with over 40 years experience and has performed thousands of commercial and residential inspections. This book is an invaluable aid to any prospective home buyer. Home buying is a major step for anyone and every potential buyer should arm themselves with all available information to be able to compare and analyze what they're seeing with their own eyes as opposed to what they're being told. This book not only provides analysis not only on the home, but also on the site, drainage, and utilities.
The book is divided into fifteen chapters that will provide the buyer with basic knowledge of construction techniques on some of the most common building practices and how to analyze the signs that the property is exhibiting. These signs could be a warning of problems to be aware of.
Mr. Ferrell explains how the novice can analyze drainage on the site, utilities and how they affect the property, trees and foilage, the structural basis of the house, finishes, systems and what those cracks in the walls and concrete are telling you.
The book is not intended to be an all encompassing expose' on the subject, but rather
a primer for the uninformed. Professional advice may be warranted in certain circumstances and Mr. Ferrell gives examples of these in the text.

Chiefs report card vs. Colts
Chiefs rushing offense (A-): We've seen this from Jamaal Charles. But Peyton Hillis?
Chiefs passing offense (F): The two Brady Quinn interceptions ruined the day for the Chiefs.
Chiefs rushing defense (B-): A strong effort until Vick Ballard got loose on third down late in the game.
Chiefs passing defense (C+): Andrew Luck was 6 for 8 on Indy's fourth quarter TD drive.
Chiefs special teams (D+): Between a missed field goal and strange decisions on returns, another subpar day.
Chiefs coaching (F): The final offensive play, on third and 8, was a handoff to Peyton Hillis.
First quarter
Key play: Darius Butler returned an interception 32 yards for a touchdown to put the Colts ahead 7-0.
Key stat: The Colts had just 26 yards but still led 7-3 at the end of the period.
Second quarter
Key play: With the Chiefs at the Colts' 16, Jamaal Charles fumbled and the Colts recovered.
Key stat: The Chiefs had 245 first half yards, but only three points.
Third quarter
Key play: Jamaal Charles ran 86 yards for a touchdown on the first snap of the period to cut Kansas City's deficit to 13-10.
Key stat: The Chiefs had the ball for more than 9½ minutes.
Fourth quarter
Key play: With the score tied, Brady Quinn was stuffed for no gain on fourth and one from the Indy 27.
Key stat: The Chiefs punted with 2:39 remaining and never got the ball back.
Player of the game
A second 200-plus yard game for Jamaal Charles and his third TD of 80 yards or more.
Reason to hope
The Chiefs were minus-3 in turnovers against a playoff team and were still in the game in the fourth quarter.
Reason to mope
If the Chiefs can't win this game, when will they? Probably not until next season, at the earliest.
Looking ahead
The Chiefs close out their season Sunday against the Broncos in Denver.

We're in very patriotic spirits today in London: yesterday, despite the traditional English weather of rain and freezing wind, we watched the 1000 boat pageant down the river Thames and partied at local street parties all around the U.K. Today the Union Jack flags are a little soggy, the sky is still a little grey and the victoria sponge cake has all been eaten but we're still feeling in the spirit and looking forward to a whole summer of great British events, including the Olympics!
So this capsule collection by Evisu is definitely appealing to us today: the brand are calling this mini range their 'Denimpics' collection and it includes a collection of tees, two jeans and a short.
The shorts, named Lot 2000 2012 Olympics Union Jack Diacock feature the red white and blue of the union jack in upsized Diacock style on the back, the first pair of jean, named Lot. 2000 2012 Olympics Union Jack Seagal Jeans feature the Evisu gull design on the pockets with a union jack twist. The second pair of jeans, named Lot. 2000 2012 Olympics Double Shield & Seagal Jeans feature an embroidered red gull on one of the back pockets, as well as a specially designed British and Olympic coat of arms on the other pocket.
Each pair of jeans are £210 and the shorts are £170. All are available to buy online and in store right now. They're a really great, commemorative denim collection with a big dose of british humor and we think they're going to sell out fast.

Clinical Data reported positive top-line results from the second of two Phase III trials with vilazodone in major depressive disorder (MDD). Clinical Data will use results from both late-stage studies to file its NDA by the end of this year. The company's stock rose 12% to open the day at $15.72.
This second Phase III study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 481 patients with MDD. The study achieved its primary and secondary endpoints of reducing depression symptoms as measured by two scales. Study results also suggest that vilazodone was generally well-tolerated and that effects of vilazodone on sexual function were comparable to placebo.
These results along with the fact that Vilazodone has a novel dual mechanism of action bodes extrememly well for drug approval, points out Drew Fromkins, president and CEO. It is both a potent and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and a partial agonist of the 5-hydroxytryptamine 1a receptor.
The treatment of depression is a key factor in the high cost of the disease, since patients do not see significant changes on current therapies quickly enough. He believes that results from clinical trials has shown that Vilazodone if approved will be a differenting product in a very large market.
The Phase III study, however, could not replicate its biomarker that had been identified in the first late-stage trial as potentially associated with response to vilazodone. "While our lead biomarker of response to vilazodone did not replicate in this trial, it is one in a series of candidate biomarkers that we will continue to evaluate," says Carol R. Reed, M.D., evp and CMO.
Clinical Data, which shed its genomic services division through a $17 million deal with Beckman Coulter, continues to use its biomarker capabilities for drug development. The company's strategy is to couple biomarker R&D with drug R&D to improve drug development and trial design. This usually begins very early in development, but Vilazodone started in Phase III, which is when the drug was inlicensed.

- Record Remix Wall Shelf
As one of the projects done in Design 3, we had to make a readymade product and submit it to the Readymade magazine. I took 4 records, glued them together, made 2 cuts, 4 holes and 3 heat bends to create a record shelf strong enough for your ihome - By cutting and glueing records together, I was able to find the thickness that provided the most strength while maintaining its shape when formed.
- Bend test on record thicknesses.
- By applying heat to the vinyl record, it becomes maleable enough to take on any shape and form. Once cool, the record regains its rigidity and stays to the shape.
- By using a vinyl adhesive that is heat resilliant, the records are able to stay glued together while being formed with heat.

Title: | Photoemission optogalvanic studies with copper as target electrode |
Author: | Ajith Prasad, K C; Nampoori, V P N; Vallabhan, C P G |
Abstract: | Photoemission optogalvanaic (POG) effect has been observed by irradiating copper target electrode, in a nitrogen discharge cell using 1.06 μm and frequency doubled 532 nm Nd:YAG laser pulse. Measurement of the nature of the variation of POG signal strength with 532 nm laser fluence confirms the two photon induced photoelectric emission from copper. However, using 1.06 μm laser pulses thermally assisted photoemission is observed. |

Local Vigil For Connecticut Shooting Victims
Comforting words echoed inside the St. Patrick Catholic Church this morning.
"It breaks your heart as a parent," said Mike Hill, who has a 12- year- old son.
Hill has a son in the 6th grade at St. Patrick's and talked to his 12- year- old about what happened.
"It's difficult," said Hill. "There is no perfect solution. There's certainly not a manual on how to deal with these kinds of things so as a parent what you try to do is again instill confidence in your child, that they are going to be okay, that we are gonna be okay, but at the same time you know there are bad things in the world. Things happen unfortunately."
"I think communication is the key word to keep the children safe, to know the parents of their friends," Scavone said.
Mike Walsh has three little girls, ages 4,6 and 8.
"It's interesting," Walsh said. "We haven't told them."
Walsh says that he rather his girls not know about the tragic event.
"It's just an additional burden," Walsh says. "It doesn't make sense for a 4, 5 or 6 year old child to know about it. If they find out about it, sit them down and explain it to them but that's just my thought."

Doing Well While Doing Good: Reassessing the Scope of Directors' Fiduciary Obligations in For-Profit Corporations with Non-Shareholder BeneficiariesLisa M. FairfaxGeorge Washington University - Law School Washington and Lee Law Review, Vol. 59, p. 409, 2002 U of Maryland Legal Studies Research Paper No. 921072 Abstract: Doing Well While Doing Good: Reassessing the Scope of Directors' Fiduciary Obligations in For-Profit Corporations with Non-Shareholder Beneficiaries, 59 Wash. & Lee L. Rev. 414 (2002), explores corporate fiduciary duties in the context of for-profit companies that operate in traditionally non-profit spheres. The rise in "privatization" - a conversion from certain businesses being operated by nonprofit and government entities to operation by for-profit companies - has sparked considerable opposition, particularly when it occurs within industries that deliver some societal good such as health care or education. Opponents claim that for-profit companies cannot pay heed to their social or charitable commitments because they must focus on generating profits. In a related debate, many corporate scholars disagree about the proper aim of the corporation - with some insisting that it should serve the interests of its shareholders only, and others contending that the corporation should serve the interests of all of the various constituents on which it impacts. By evaluating the extent to which corporate fiduciary law allows directors and officers of recently privatized firms to make decisions that benefit their public constituencies, even at the expense of shareholder profit, my article explores the corporate law debate through the prism of privatization. My article concludes that corporate law is more flexible than many experts suggest, and hence that it allows directors of newly privatized firms to advance the interests of their beneficiaries even with those interests are in conflict with shareholder concerns.

COLUMBIA — Flash flooding was reported early Monday afternoon in parts of Boone County.
The National Weather Service posted a flood warning for Boone County, southern Audrain County and northwestern Callaway County until 5:45 Monday afternoon.
At 2:31 p.m., law enforcement reported water up to a foot deep flowing over secondary roads between Sturgeon and Centralia in northern Boone County, according to the Weather Service in St. Louis. The Weather Service advised that flash flooding can be expected to affect the Sturgeon and Hallsville areas in particular.
Sanborn Field on the MU campus reported 1.19 inches of rain through 2:50 p.m. Monday.
Boone County also remains under a flood watch through Tuesday evening.
Flood warnings were posted earlier this afternoon for several streams and rivers west of Columbia, with the flooding threat expected to continue across the area through Tuesday.
Rainfall of more than an inch Monday across parts of central and west-central Missouri prompted the National Weather Service to issue flood warnings for watersheds that include the Petite Saline Creek near Boonville and the Moniteau Creek near Fayette.
Remember: Do not drive through flowing water. The Weather Service reminds the public that nearly half of all flood fatalities are vehicle-related and that motorists can lose control of their vehicle in as little as 6 inches of water.
In Columbia, rainfall from Jan. 1 through Sunday totaled 8.06 inches, 5.46 inches more than the average of 2.60 inches.
Those totals will no doubt climb given the 100 percent chance for rain, heavy at times, Monday and Monday night. Occasional showers and thunderstorms are likely on Tuesday, with more heavy rain possible.
The heaviest rains — 3 to 4 inches — were forecast for Monday night through Tuesday, mainly south and east of St. Louis.

Feedback: Trail threatens beach
Might I start with a comment: Your staff writer, Marina Parr did a wonderful job on the article (News-Times, May 8) referring to the city waterfront trail.
I would also say, the article was filled with true facts. Not necessarily viewed by me as true. But true to the article. Thank you for that.
My family views the waterfront trail as an important part of the trail system. The part about us being opposed to the trail is true. However, the reasons you have represented to the public are not quite accurate. You evidently didnt see the letters that were addressed to the city or the 20-plus pictures that I presented to the council.
The reasons we are not for the trail is the location of the trail. Thats the part of that story thats missing. It should be like this:
We oppose the trail because of the environmental damage that will be done to the driftwood berm and degradation of the shorelines. The trail should be moved inland to prevent the destruction of the driftwood. It is placed on the active berm of logs and driftwood that provide the cushion and stability of the beach and beach sand that we so cherish.
Without the driftwood the wonderful beach will also erode. Just look at the beach to the east. Also, having the trail so close to the condominium and with a flood plain height designed into the bulkhead, the probability of getting the public down to natural beach everyone talks about will be almost impossible. Our family has talked about using the beach as the last leg of the trail, not the driftwood. We have never opposed anyone using the beach. We offered it as the crown jewel.
We also think that the public is very diverse, not all wanting the same thing. Why should the trail all be asphalt? Is it all for the joggers and runners, or is it for the bikers and rollerbladers? How about the elderly who want to stroll on the beach, not run or bike. How about the people who want their children to see what a real walk on the beach is all about. The ones who want to play by the water and catch crabs and other crustaceans. We believe the beach should be used by everyone. But destroying the beach to put in a walkway is wrong. Thats what we are opposed too. Our feelings also go for the rights of private ownership, for if it wasnt for private ownership this beach would look like all of the others on the shoreline. (degraded, with seawalls falling into the mud and water outfalls covered with big rocks, that are not only an eyesore but a danger for children.) Those are the points that we want the city to look at before they make a decision to take our land. Lets preserve, not destroy, our heritage.

Publisher's Description
Zoya misses the dad she never knew. All she wants is to follow in his footsteps as a champion sprint dog racer. But when she witnesses a murder in their town of North Pole, Alaska, she finds herself thrown into dangers and emotions she can't begin to understand.
Enter Sean Connelly, a new employee at the kennel with demons of his own. When he discovers macrochips bearing military secrets implanted in the Naltsiine's dogs, a puzzle tracing back to the murder unfolds. Then strange "accidents" start happening; clearly someone wants Zoya silenced. Anesia tells her daughter it's not safe to race, but Zoya, angry with the world- and God-takes off across dangerous Alaskan terrain alone. Anesia and Sean must race against time to save the girl-and themselves.

lcjohnson1988IndianaAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Race Against TimeDecember 8, 2014lcjohnson1988IndianaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Race Against Time.Readers are introduced to a plot that has suspense, tension, intrigue, murder, faith and romance. The story starts in book one, No Safe Haven, by the same mother and daughter authors who team up to write these fictional novels set in Alaska. In the first book, the audience learns that military men have worked to undermine a special project. Now that the program is in safe hands when the program is run for a test; the problem begins to glare brightly with the military. Cole must find whatever clue his friend left before his death in order for the program to work correctly, but it becomes a race to locate the clue.
Zoya loves sprint racing. Her dogs are well cared for and when she sets out one day to prep them for an upcoming race, she witnesses a murder and is shot. Her mother, Anesia, is called to the hospital. After that, the mother and daughter are seemingly the target of the killers scope constantly. Needing full-time help with her award-winning kennels Anesia hires Sean who has left Boston behind to get a fresh start. The constant pressure of being hunted by unknown assailants brings out the deep battle residing in Zoyas heart and causes Anesia to realize that without opening her heart to love the burden will surely tear her apart.
As I read through both novels I fell in love with the story that shows how sometimes unknown issues of our hearts come to the surface when lifes pressures are at their highest. Both mother and daughter are learning how to let go of control and anger in order for them to hear His voice. Sean is a man who made a choice to leave his fathers company because the actions of his Dad were illegal. Sean must learn to forgive his Dad and talk to him respectfully with the hopes his Dad will be open to the Lord.
I love how the military program is what the evil character is desperately trying to get their hands on. As it causes Cole, who is in the military, to rethink how even America could use the program for wrong reasons as all mankind struggles with a sinful nature. The authors show how each character must decide whether to draw near to the Lord or to walk this life without Him. The mother and daughter team have written more than just No Safe Haven & Race Against Time, but these two books are connected and can be enjoyed by adults and teens alike! These are two wonderful books to give as presents to readers in your household! -
Digging4PearlsShippensburg, PAAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Great SuspenseApril 18, 2012Digging4PearlsShippensburg, PAAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Race Against Time.Race Against Time by Kimberley and Kayla R. Woodhouse weaves the tale of lonely, Anesia Naltsiine and her thirteen-year-old daughter, Zoya. The duo are champion sprint dog racers in North Pole, Alaska. Anesia has worked hard and long to become a reputable dog breeder, drawing buyers from all around the world.
Zoya longs for the dad she's never met. She's driven to succeed, to be like him. Zoya finds herself thrown into intrigue and suspense when she witnesses a murder while exercising her dog sled team. Her life is plunged into continual threats of danger and she struggles with conflicting emotions in all areas of her life, particularly with her relationship with the Lord.
Anesia is forced to face the fact that she can't fully protect her daughter, and deals with learning to step out in faith and trust God with her daughter's life. Both battle feelings of jealousy toward the relationship of their dear friends, Cole, Jenna, and Andie Maddox.
Sean Connelly desires a fresh start and takes a job at Anesia's kennels after walking to Alaska from Boston. He's hired as a worker, but also to help protect Zoya. The story escalates when Sean finds macro-chips with military secrets embedded under the skin of Anesia's dogs. With the discovery, threats on Zoya's life escalate. He needs to overcome the issues from his past in order to have a future with this mother and daughter.
I found Race Against Time to be a wonderful read which I highly recommend.

This novel focuses on Athabaskans Zoya and Anesia Naltsiine and their dogs, who love to run in sprint sled races. Thirteen-year-old Zoya's life is threatened, and she struggles with issues of faith and trust. Will Sean Connolly, the new employee at the kennel, help or hurt the touchy situation? And what did he run from in leaving his wealthy family and position back East? And why are the FBI and the military interested in what's going on at the Naltsiines?
Young adults and older readers alike will enjoy this thrilling story. The Arctic setting and the numerous secrets contribute to the excitement. This suspenseful book can stand alone, but it's better to read the series in order. -

But Sean is hiding something too, and Anesia doesn't know who to trust.
Another excellent suspense novel from the mother-daughter writing team Kimberly and Kayla Woodhouse. We got to spend some time with Jenna, Andie, and Cole, too, which was nice, because I missed them. This story has a mystery of its own that is connected to events in book one, but goes further. I couldn't put it down. Very well done.

REFERENCE ONLY. (SOLD or NOT FOR SALE)
The 1870 Iron Cross II. Class was awarded in very small numbers, especially when compared to the 1914 and 1939 II. Class Iron Crosses. That fact, combined with the amount of time and history that has gone by since the 1870-71 Franco-Prussian war, contribute to the small numbers available to the collector. This is a very high quality example of the 1870 Iron Cross, in fine condition. The core is magnetic, has sharp details to the dates, oakleaves, acorns and crowns, and retains a good 90% of its original blackened finish. The rim is well detailed with very well defined beading, and features the thick ribbon ring as found on early examples. There are no markings on the ring, which was correct for period awards. The ribbon shows age as well and no damage, and appears to be original to the piece.
The market has been swamped with reproduction 1870 Iron Crosses, however original examples are few and far between. This is an excellent example of the award and will compliment any Imperial and Iron Cross collection. A super piece.
